Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

You know how the Gulf Stream (AMOC, for the climate nerd set) keeps Europe habitable? The latest tipping points paper is making the rounds for good reason. AMOC collapses past 2100 in *all* projections iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... Good @economist.com take www.economist.com/leaders/2025...

I don't think you need complex political triangulation when the president is shrieking "I am sending in the WAR DEPARTMENT because Portland is AT WAR!" You should just keep saying that he should be removed from office because he is plainly insane

The world is so surreal, I feel crazy shouting at it, and that's probably not the healthiest reaction but it's the real-est one right now. Remembering the world doesn't have to be this way exacts a toll.

The real story here is how this ended up in the Guardian & why such spurious research should be deemed newsworthy. The answer is: it isn't. But PR Firms working for the companies who use AI for art authentication get these stories in the news. How do I know this? Bc I've been contacted by them. /3

Portland is a peaceful, vibrant city with no need for federal agents on our streets. I urge Oregonians not to fall into Trump’s attempt to incite violence. Just as I did in 2020, I will lead our delegation and state officials to oppose any unjustified increase in federal forces.

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

These people want to BE SEEN doing Hitler shit (whether they actually do the Hitler shit or not). Actual "security" is unimportant. Timothy Synder suggested the confab might just be for optics/"warrior ethos," not actually, you know, a Hitler-style oath. For sure, War Dude in Chief is a joke.

The largest group in ICE detention is now immigrants with no criminal record, with more than 16,500 currently being held. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about going after the “worst of the worst.” This was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty.

Also, video shared to social media by a neighbor shows an early morning immigration raid with flash grenades on a house in suburban Cicero. Federal agents took at least one man into custody. thetriibe.com/2025/09/bord...

Small update: I am fine and exhausted and very grateful for everyone who helped me and documenting what was happening to everyone in attendance 🖤

what isnt reported is, sinclair had to pay a fine for NOT using abc content that they are obligated under their affiliate contract to abide. and if they didnt show it again, they could lose all their abc programming. that is why these pigs capitulated...

Sinclair has ended its preemption of Jimmy Kimmel Live! Details ↓

I truly believe rage at the intrusiveness of tech will lead more people to opt out, finding better ways to live. I know it's motivating the heck out of me & I was 100% a tech optimist enamored of shiny new tech most of my life. They lost *me* & if they're losing me, they have to be losing so many.

Illinois was famous for our corrupt governors! How did we know they were corrupt? WE SENT THEM TO JAIL. (Note: I'm a big fan of IL's current governor even though I don't live there anymore... and I think cleaning up corruption, shockingly enough, led to less corruption.)

the longer we have billionaires & the richer they get (helped by fascists in power) the more dangerous they get. there's literally nothing good that comes from concentrating this much wealth in this few hands & allowing these tech oligarchs to do whatever they want www.wired.com/story/tech-b...

We are so humiliatingly deep into tinpot dictatorship territory. The government has just brokered the coerced sale of a major media platform to an ally of the president, who is openly boasting about converting it into (even more of) a partisan propaganda outlet.

it's the rats that make them strong

I hate that the media real-time killed any ability for folks to understand this. We cut childhood poverty IN HALF with basically child UBI (on top of infuriatingly named “stimulus” $)…then Rs killed it. But 4 yrs of relentless Biden bashing is all the media was interested in. And tbh people too.

They all (ICE) need to GO TO JAIL.

lmao

UC Berkeley has been criticized for capitulating to the Trump admin's McCarthyism by providing names of 160 students, faculty, and staff dubiously accused of "antisemitism" But it turns out Berkeley wasn't alone; it's just the only campus that was transparent about the demand for names

Hegseth’s not letting anyone leave that room until he finds who’s been pinching his scotch!

Starting soon!

Not sure why there are people out there embracing doomerism and saying that there's no way we can defeat Trump, that he's too much of an unstoppable force to beat. He couldn't even get Jimmy Kimmel off the air for a full week. You know why? Us. We did that.

Anyone who's questioning how foreign furniture could possibly be related to national security has clearly never heard of Ikea's new ÄNTIFÄ collection

So we get banana republic indictments for a former FBI head, but not cheaper groceries. Is that the deal?

Time for me to recommend Autocracy Inc by @anneapplebaum.bsky.social again... The US is now part of the international criminal gang, folks. A gang that helps each other out to keep the autocracy going. Good job, America.

Worse than that. "They thought AI was making them 20% faster, but it was actually making them 19% slower. […] My argument: If so many developers are so extraordinarily productive using these tools, where is the flood of shovelware?"—Mike Judge He's exactly right. Maybe this technology will

I have been observing this a lot. And it is really bad.

What was it like when the DOGE overlords infiltrated the government? “For five months we were instructed to bring in our own toilet paper. I literally kept two rolls at my desk. I wish I were joking.” 🙃

Used EVs have never been cheaper. But are they a good deal? The price gap between used electric and gas cars is now just $900 — that's the lowest ever. grist.org/economics/us... #EV #Transportation #Climate #Economics #Economy #Cars #UsedCars #Business #Batteries

This needs to happen everywhere.

A whole lot of elites compromised their morals for money and status long ago. You will not find moral courage in people like that.

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

almost like destroying the future and pretending it's not happening might lead some to violent nihilism

Reminder that "not acting" shapes the future as much as "acting" does and that not choosing is a choice.

Having a post go viral on bsky is a bit wild. I know we're all supposed to want that but I kinda don't? It just brings the trolls and sure enough...but it took longer than expected. Bsky block lists ftw! Still, takes something to see a viral post and comment "y'all are reading this wrong"...bro...

This is tonight!

I'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

"fearing or regulating it, or opposing technological progress, would hasten the coming of the Antichrist, Thiel said" what the fuck

They can tell us what was written on the bullets but not who the bullets killed. Not buying it.
